Planning Dates

There are times in life when I wish I was a boy. Taking someone on a date is one of those times. Also when I have to use the restroom and the girls line is ridiculously long. Even as a female, I am not exactly sure what takes women so long in the restroom.

So dates. Here are the things I got invited to by men who are courting me. (now how classy did I just make a guy getting my number at a bar sound?)

Do you like sushi? I'd love to take you to get sushi this week.

What are you doing on blank date? I'd love to take you out for dinner.

Can I get your number? I'd love to take you out some time.

Some other variation of let's sit across a table from each other, ask the same questions we ask every other first date, and have that awkward moment where you see the other person ingesting food. Don't get me wrong, I'm big on knowing if you're a disgusting eater or not. It's a make or break moment for me.

But why must you take me to dinner? Or lunch? Or sushi? Coffee? Or whatever. Dates I would take someone on (which yes I could take a guy on a date, but not the first date. It's nice to take your boyfriend on a date, not some dude for date 1-4ish)

-Dave and Busters. food and gaming. hello fun.

-minor league baseball game. do they serve beer? i love beer. and corn dogs.

-bowling. okay clearly i like gaming adventures, which makes me think...

-putt putt. laser tag

-the medieval fair.

-which makes me think, medieval times

- a local show

-that wine and painting thing people are doing

-a museum

-find some sort of weird local tour

-or weird historic location you can do funny things at

-take me to 6 flags and ill have your children.

-the freaking ZOO

-the aquarium

-a body of water. to walk around. and if i could splash in it, id be really happy. this is cheap

-a wine tasting

-the driving range. yes, teach me to golf. heck do the same with the batting cages.

-take me to a dueling piano bar

-country bars. two stepping.

don't get me wrong. i love dinner. who doesnt love food. and i love cinematic adventures. but if you spiced it up on date two or three. and especially if you spiced it up on date one. let me tell you, the ladies would love it. now i know some of these things are pricey, but if someone took me on a really cool date like the above, i would totally turn around and do the same thing for them. did you know you could just google cool dates in dallas or things to do in dfw and get a great list of ideas? i know, it takes a minute out of your day instead of your regular restaurant gig, but oh well.

and if you're doing dinner, can we do something like

-dicks last resort

-rainforest cafe

-a place with live music

-medieval times

-something funny or unusual. not the cheesecake factory, which i do love but doesnt have the certain umph im looking for.

i realize not all females would like all of these things, but id say most would enjoy the majority of them. and if not, they suck, and you can take me on one of these awesome dates instead.
